Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Oct. 23, 2023, 9:37 a.m.
Overall Rationale: #[Average Ranking Rankings (ARR!)](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DJeda7dWV4j54u5-XxpTrA0llOZuRHjGDo-Pz_jfDBo/edit?usp=sharing) For those who haven't seen my computer poll before, the general rundown is that it attempts to average an easily understandable "Master Ranking" number from all of the *rankings* of stats, power rankings, and other data I can get that includes all ~~130~~ ~~131~~ 133 teams that fairly compare teams and coaches across systems and conferences. In other words, I want to end up with a master number that is easily grokkable (#1 Michigan avg ranking 13.11, #66 Georgia Southern avg ranking 68.11, & #133 Akron avg ranking 119.22) that will tell you what the average ranking of a team is across a large spectrum of criteria that hopefully encapsulates what makes a football team "good".
